Sure? I would think that at least the basic networking functionality should
be placed in the kernel, so that all networking related calls are just
gemdos functions (after all, they do deal with filehandles).

We do not need the functions themself in the kernel itself, the functions
may be implemented in an extension (xdd or similar), but having this
functionality in the library is not a clean approach IMHO. All the kernel
had to do is know the calls and forward them if the XDD is present.
